Even softcore nudity of real minors is classed under CP, which afaik 
isn't necessarily sexual abuse.  The argument is something along the 
lines of "creepy pedo will masturbate to this image at some point, that 
is sexual abuse"...even if the model never even knows the pedo in 
question exists, let alone meets.  It's pretty bizarre, imo.

As far as the argument of money/whatever payment being coercion so it's 
all abuse even if all that happens is photography...how is it any 
different for "adults" who do the same thing?  It's not even a matter of 
maturity, since all the twenty-somethings *I* know are still in the 
'woohoo, I'mma kid out from under the thumbs of my parents!" phase.
